For seven years, I have been sailing across seas and oceans. Alone. Mostly it is intense, sometimes too intense. Feelings of happiness, but also reaching limits and crossing boundaries are part of sailing. And wild nature, which makes me happier than ports and marinas. Welcome aboard the 38-year-old steel ketch REYKJA.
